Officers were then notified by employees at Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian that two men had been taken there with stab wounds. One of the men suffered life-threatening injuries, and was taken to Western Medical Center in Santa Ana, Dieball said.

He was in critical condition Monday morning. The second man suffered a stab wound to his arm.

Officers went to the hospital to interview the brothers, but the information they have received has been vague and not helpful, officials said.

"We don't know who the suspect is or why the fight started," Dieball said. "Either (the victims) don't know or they are being uncooperative."
